SHRIMP & VEGETABLE STIR FRY RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Shrimp & Vegetable Stir Fry Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12-ounce) package frozen large shrimp, thawed, peeled, and de-veined
1 stalk fresh broccoli, cut into bite-size florets
1 small onion, coarsely chopped, about 1/2 cup
1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped, about 2/3 cup
4 large mushrooms, cut in quarters or thick slices
4 tablespoons salted butter
Garlic salt, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Sesame seeds, optional

Steps:

  • Prepare all of the vegetables and clean the shrimp to start. Set the shrimp aside to dry on several layers of paper towels. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the veggies and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, until crisp tender, stirring to keep from burning. Remove mixture from the skillet. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter; when hot, add the shrimp and lightly sprinkle with garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for about 4 minutes or until pink. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Add the vegetable mixture back to the skillet with the shrimp and season with garlic salt, salt, and black pepper to taste, tossing to combine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cook just long enough to heat through. Serve with your favorite rice, white, brown, fried, etc.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the vegetables and shrimp without overcrowding them.
  • Heat the skillet or wok over high heat: This will help to sear the shrimp and vegetables, giving them a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok: If you add too many vegetables or shrimp at once, they will steam instead of stir-fry.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables and shrimp in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of vegetables or shrimp, you may need to stir-fry them in batches.
  • Add the sauce towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately: Stir-fry is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Shrimp vegetable stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious stir-fry that your whole family will enjoy.
